The moment Anu was seen in the promos, everyone trolled her, questioning why, despite being a popular heroine, she opted for just a supporting character. However, her performance and the way she supports Rashmika in the film become key aspects of the film, earning her a lot of praise.

Speaking about the same, Anu Emmanuel stated that characters like Durga do not come along daily, and as she was deeply invested in the story, she did not hesitate before agreeing to act in the film.

When asked about the director taking sides for women, Anu stated that she completely agrees with the way women were showcased in the film. “Women face endless conditions: how to talk, what to wear, when to marry, and when to have children. Men only deal with pressure about their job or income,” said Anu Emmanuel.

The noted actress is getting a lot of love on social media, as many are hailing The Girlfriend as her perfect comeback in Telugu cinema. Directed by Rahul Ravindran, the film showcases how a young and modern girl, played by Anu Emmanuel, gets sidelined in love but still helps a woman who is going through a toxic relationship.
